Success!  Smiley

Electron Cash is now showing an identical balance in BCH as I had in BTC.

Thank you guys for all your help, I really appreciate it!  Smiley

When it comes to splitting the coins, I'll leave this for tomorrow, as I bet most of us are watching the historic events in Washington D.C. now.

Thanks again for all the help!

Finally ready to get back to this again.

If you post any of your BCH addresses, I'll dust it so you don't replay your BSV/BCH-A Forkcoins.

I must confess this bit I'm unclear on, and yes, you guys mentioned this before, but I never fully understood it, but as I wasn't there yet, I chose to seek clarification when it was time.

"Dusting" - does this mean sending/receiving a tiny amount?

And to clarify, @Loyce, are you suggesting I send you (via PM?) a receiving address, and you'll send me a tiny/insignificant amount of BCH? And then, when you say:

Just to be sure: you'll need to include my BCH-dust in the transaction you're going to send.

Do you mean the transaction from Electron Cash to my Ledger Nano S? Or somewhere else? To another wallet (Coinomi, as per that other guide linked to earlier in the thread?) that will enable me to split BCH and BSV?

I'm just reading more about this... There's the ElectrumSV wallet, and it looks like it has a coin-splitting feature built in. But I guess I was hoping it would be possible to basically repeat the process of importing the seed to claim the fork coins. So, just like I installed Electron Cash, imported the old BTC seed, which made my BCH balance appear, couldn't I now install Electrum SV, import that same seed, and the balance of BSV would appear? But I guess the splitting of BCH and BSV does not work this way.

As ever, very grateful for all the help and assistance. Smiley

It doesn't matter where you send it, as long as there is at least one input that only excists on the chain you're sending, it can't replay on the other chains.

ElectrumSV worked terrible, it's very different from normal Electrum. And I don't trust them, that's why I prefer to use Coinomi for BSV.
